Fantasy Football: Where should you be selecting your favorite 49ers on draft day?
With the NFL preseason underway and opening kickoff around the corner, fantasy football draft season is officially here.
When it comes to drafting, it can be difficult when it comes to selecting some of your personal favorite players from your team. It’s always fun to have a player from your team leading the way on your fantasy football team, but it can be tough reaching for that player on draft day.
For the San Francisco 49ers, multiple players will be flying off the big board early and often.
If you’re eyeing to land a certain player on your fantasy roster, you need to know when to pull the trigger on drafting them. Heading into draft day with that player’s average draft position in mind could be the key to landing them on your roster. “ADP” refers to the round and pick in the draft that the player is being selected at.
Before draft day here is a look at the average draft position for different members of the 49ers according to Yahoo! Sports, ESPN and Sleeper.
